More Tantrums

Khai woke up angry. Then got angrier when I didn't let him climb up the stairs. Then got even angrier when I tried to change his diaper...and put his coat on. Arched his back and refused to let me put him in his carseat. Thank goodness for Dora. Dora made the ride to grandma's bearable. The tantrum was put on pause... until we got there. Tantrum started up again and he spit mango on me. Got mad because now we didn't let him go down the stairs. Mad because nothing was going his way. Wow. Is this how its going to be??
When I stopped by to visit him at lunchtime, he was so mad at me from the morning that he wouldn't even look at me. And then when he did...he glared. He wouldn't come to me, wouldn't sit in my lap. He just didn't want me!! Finally I suckered him by carrying him on my back and galloping around the room. Or maybe he suckered me. Hmmm. Then we played chase. That made him really happy until I stopped to eat my lunch and we were back to the howling fits. He was flipping out when I left to go back to work.
